Michinoku stable

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Michinoku stable (陸奥部屋 Michinoku-beya?) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tokitsukaze ichimon or group of stables. It was established in 1974 by former maegashira Hoshikabuto, who branched off from Izutsu stable. Former ozeki Kirishima became the current head coach in December 1997. It absorbed Tatsutagawa stable in November 2000 upon the retirement of the stablemaster there. As of December 2007 Michinoku stable had 17 wrestlers.
